audited the accompanying Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits of the Nordson Hourly-Rated Employees&#146; Savings Trust Plan (&#147;Plan&#148;) as of December&nbsp;31, 2014 and 2013, and the related Statements of Changes in Net Assets
Available for Benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Plan&#146;s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December&nbsp;31, 2014 and 2013, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The supplemental Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes at End of Year and Schedule of Reportable Transactions as of December&nbsp;31, 2014 have been
subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan&#146;s financial statements. The supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan&#146;s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the
supplemental schedules reconcile to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedules.
In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedules, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedules, including their form and content, are presented in conformity with Department of Labor&#146;s (DOL) Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole. </P>

Guaranteed Investment Contract Fund is a collective trust fund with a guaranteed investment contract. Guaranteed investment contracts are valued at contract value because the investments are fully benefit-responsive. For example, participants may
ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. However, withdrawals influenced by Company-initiated events, such as in connection with the sale of a business, may result in distributions at
other than contract value. There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of contract issuers or otherwise. The fair value of the investment contracts was $768,456 (2014)&nbsp;and $1,546,570 (2013). The average yield was approximately
1.86% (2014)&nbsp;and 1.69% (2013), and the crediting interest rate was approximately 1.79% (2014)&nbsp;and 1.60% (2013). The crediting rate for this investment contract is reset annually by the issuer, but cannot be less than zero. </P>
